The correct answer is

B) Agriculture

Step-by-step explanation:

Economy of Mongolia was mostly based on agriculture and livestock. Agriculture played a larger role in building up the Mongol Empire's economy as they especially created opportunities for farmers and other people in the lower class to work. Beside that the great amount of food was used to trade, and generated much income for the empire which was used for the welfare of people.

The correct answer is A.

Mongolia's economy is based on agro-pastoral processing, with 90% of the exports made up of animals and derivatives, but very limited by Mongolia's distance from the sea, and by the fragile roads without infrastructure.
